Smigel is amazing as Trump. David please, we beg of you, go back to being funny. We know you’re tired, but nobody does political COMEDY better than you. I love you man, but you’re not MAHER. You’re funnier. Go back to COMEDY!!!! PLEASE.

I am very fond of Will Ryan but there is scientific proof that fibromyalgia exists. While there is no definitive objective test that can prove that one has it, there is a tender point exam that diagnoses it. Fibromyalgia has been in The Merck Manual for decades. I just can’t allow anyone to dismiss this disease when so little respect is given to it because some very few idiotic nutcase doctors don’t believe it’s real. But I’ve been in severe pain head to toe 24/7 since I was 19 and had to drop out of UC Berkeley to live back with my parents and it’s incredibly crippling, especially since I had 12 vertebrae fused because of scoliosis at age 17. I’ve been full of passion, joy, and drive, but recently my pain has been super bad. It is real. Studies show patients with fibro have too much substance P in their cerebrospinal fluid.

I have let a lot of things David has said wrong go (like David the clown was the alleged child molester in Capturing the Friedmans and when he constantly confuses the film Magnolia for Short Cuts (the latter of which is the brilliant movie, directed by Robert Altman), but I won’t let this go even though it hurts to type this.

By the way, the younger brother was the convicted child molester in Capturing the Friedmans along with the father.
David was a clown, that is all. An angry bitter clown. David Feldman is more than a clown.
